The Washington DC Tourism Bureau says
there are 1000s of hotel room still
available for Inaugural Week.
From their website. "If you search a
travel website like Expedia or
Travelocity, you may find a limited
number of hotels to choose from, but
that doesn't mean there aren't any rooms
available in the city. Many hotels are
only taking reservations directly or
through their corporate reservations
systems. Destination DC's visitor
services specialists
(1-800-422-8644) can save
travelers time by directing them to
hotels with rooms available."
I tried the 800 number and was surprised
at availability. Pricey four-day
packages but still plenty rooms still
available..
